How to be subversive. AKA: How to Recycling garbage and support the USPS!

I'm always in favor of helping the USPS.

A few years ago a kid from down the street was walking past the house on the way to the school bus stop eating off of a foam plate and dumped it in my driveway. Being a very early riser I was able to return the items (trash) he dropped to his front yard before anyone was awake.

We have a neighbor at the end of the block who will not lock up their garbage can between pick up days...they leave it in in the street all year long. This time of year, all they do is attract bears...in fact we’ve had two bears come through and rifle through their garbage since Monday. The garbage has been strewn about for days since nobody in that household bothers to pick it up. The saying goes up here that a fed bear is a dead bear and its true. Bears that are trained to find food near humans inevitably gets in trouble and is destroyed. Those of us with no garages lease bear proof garbage cans from the disposal companies to keep garbage away from bears and they work really well. I think I will pick up the neighbor’s garbage, package it up nicely and mail it to them! I will sign the card courtesy of the Rattlesnake Bears Association and a return address of the messy homeowner themselves.

People might learn a lesson or two if we use the USPS in such a way.

I get a lot of unsolicited "offers" that helpfully provide return envelopes that get stuffed with untraceable paper before I put them in the mailbox. They have to pay the postage, and get to share the joy of opening something they don't want.

I’m SO gonna do this.

But that's another story..

Anyway, all the people who work at our PO are good at the job, well except one for whom everything is always impossible.,,
But. they are all very different people

-one woman we call The Postal Nazi!! She rattles off that spiel like, well, the soup nazi-about stamps, ya wanna po, box, etc etc.........she won;t shut up..... don;t cross her or big trouble, but she knows her shit.
- 2 guys are obscenely OCD !!!' Well you need some of that to work in the PO.
- One woman always flirts with me.. I don;t mind..she's FAST at her job.
- and then there is Brad, he's always down at the end counter, up against the wall. They won't let him work anywhere else, never combs his hair, shaves maybe 2x a week, clothes are wrinkled, always looks half asleep , thinks all the rest of the counter people are idiots, NEVER spits out the required spiel .. and he is the smartest and FASTEST person there!!

Jeeze, did I just sopend 5 minutes typing all that??
